Enjoy your trip to Adelaide. Book your next trip from Avalon Airport Melbourne to Ainsworld with Wayne Russell. Hello and welcome to Dwayne's World Great Heavy Company, where you might be listening to Ainsworld for Carbone Lawyers when things go wrong. Get Carbone on the phone. Tony Carbone and the team would like to hear from you in your time of need. So you can give Tony Carbone and the team a call. And for Avalon Airport Melbourne fly made easy out of Avalon Airport Melbourne wherever you're thinking of flying around Australia or overseas to places like Bali, then check out where Avalon Airport can get you to and how easy they can get you there, easy parking, etc. Avalon Airport Melbourne. It's midday matters time. So you call you get on. That's the midday matters. Promise the next two hours are yours. You're invited to call this number. 1-300. 7-367-36. Anything in the world of sport you'd like to discuss. We will get you on for the next two hours.

So whether it's if you want to talk some AFL, whether you want to talk some NFL, if you've been taken over by NFL fever or whether you just want to stick to talking to AFL or any other sport, of course it's yours. That's the agenda that you have the invitation to set on this program right now. 1-300. 7-367-36. You can send through your text as well by the way. 04-339-1116 on the 40-winks Tampa text. I really hope you text out during the course of the show. 04-339-1116 for 40-winks and Tampa a great night's sleep night after night after night. That is the difference. The difference is Tampa. But always love your calls for a midday matters. For a midday matter, Australia is number one home bill. So let's not mess around the heap of stuff I'd like to get to as well. We'll talk about the pressure meter, the individual pressure meter. Today who's in the individual pressure meter? I wouldn't mind hearing from you as to who's number one on the individual pressure meter. There's a few that have thrown out Justin Lomua this week as being under more pressure than anybody else. You could probably add all of the free-mattle key forward.

So I mean not just Justin Lomua to make sure that free-o don't go out in straight sets. But Josh Tracy, four positions, one goal last week against Hawthorne. Now, Joe Amos, one goal, five positions last week against Hawthorne. Patrick Voss, only one behind last week against Hawthorne. But I still think Matthew and Dix is number one in the pressure meter. Tom Morris reported that it could be sacked of Adelaide Lost to the dogs last week. And many said, well, you can't sack him based on one loss. Or maybe you can't resign him for 2027 and beyond based on one win either. Which is what he had last week, a home win where they just got through against the dogs. Maybe this week is the week where they will make some decisions. If the crows get smashed by Brisbane, maybe you're still in trouble. I don't think you want to get smashed by Brisbane. And Brisbane, historically this year, has a habit of smashing teams the week after they've been smashed by. So I think Matthew, next might still be number one in the pressure meter heading into this weekend's round ahead of Justin Lomua.

So if you've got a name or two for the individual pressure meter, I'd love to hear from you. One three hundred seven three six seven three six is the number. A couple of texts have already come through. And as I mentioned, I'll read every text. So thanks to all of you who sent through texts this week's been pretty wild on the text machine. But I've got a few things to give away a little bit later on as well, including some signant boost power banks. And a quick reminder that you can come down to, do you want us to the life site tomorrow? Melbourne Park Live at noon. So I think it is going to cost you to get in. So if you do want to come down, that's great. I'd love to see you, but just a warning. I think it will cost you to get into the life site tomorrow. Thanks to the sporting globe from Melbourne Park tomorrow. I'm what we're talking about the sporting globe sporting globe's famous Richmond street party is back for the Rams V 49ers game. And we're giving away five double passes tomorrow for those that come and say hello at the NFL kickoff festival tomorrow from noon. You could be one of the lucky winners. Carlos in Bendigales, you head to the phones and take your texts on the individual pressure

meter. What do you call us? G'day, Dwayneau, how you going on this one? I'm good. And it is a rip at the wild. So okay, it just turned a little cloudy where I am, but it's been okay. Yeah, very sunny here in Bentley mate, but look, I just wanted to chat about, obviously, very happy with the Hawks smashing free mantle last week. But I think that they should take it up to Jolong now. I still think that's a bit of a coin flip because you can never write up Jolong in September. However, has there ever been a more foregone conclusion in a, like a semi AFL semi-final before then with Brisbane versus Adelaide? Because I've talked to a lot of mates, a lot of co-workers and no one is giving Adelaide a chance at all. And I'm honestly with them with them as well. And I think that Nick won't get resigned because I honestly think an angry and embarrassed Brisbane could be scary for Adelaide. And I'm tipping 75 plus Dwayne. I think it could get ugly at the Gabba mate. What do you think?

What's your opinion? Yeah, well, Adelaide played a different style to every other team that's in the competition at the moment. And Daniel Hoen talked about it last night with the Sports Day team as well on full on 40 talking about the Adelaide crows are going to have to probably buck the trend if they don't play this aggressive straight down the middle style that other teams are playing. So if they don't play that style of, well, if they don't all of a sudden flip it and play the style that everybody else is playing, I'm not sure they can go all the way to winning the flag, Carlos and Ken Engelian Hoenie, I could probably play a couple of grabs from last night, but there is this feeling, but the same feeling was there probably for the swans, unable to beat Brisbane last week. But I think the circumstances are a lot different for the swans being able to galvanize themselves and get together and try and defend their culture. This is Matthew and Nick's game style, which you know, I only just fell in against the dogs last week, up against the back-to-back reigning premiers who've just been kicked

in the back side, Carlos. So yeah, that's why I think Matthew and Nick's is still number one in the pressure meter as well. Good, have you cool? Smashing? That's the hard part. What would a smashing do for Matthew and Nick's chances of being resigned for 2027? And beyond. I hear it, Matthew. What can you hear? I want to ring up today, nothing, the Monday or Friday after 40, because it's going to seem as umpire passion. I want to compare the how administrators affect umpires. In FIFA and the World Cup, they were told to contact just when the players fell over, just to try and ignore as much as they could. And during that tournament, they did that a lot. But when it got to the end, you know, the quarter final, semi-final final, they were very good back to the simple top. Now, I don't know why I'm part of it too, that they get directives like, like for example, contact below the knees. When that rule came in, that's all it was.

It was severe contact below the knees. Then some added change to just contact below the knees, any contact. Yeah. So, players leading with their head, like charging into a still player, absolutely and getting a free, not holding the ball. This is where the administrators need to say to the umpires, we don't mind, I don't mind losing again because your team, it was an interpretation of holding the ball or whatever. But when it's structural and in their rules, it felt like bounding when he fell over the elbows and there was no review. There are structural issues that need to be fixed. So, but it is still open for interpretation, isn't it, below the knees, free kick. I hear him what you're saying, but still there's a lot of rules that when you look at them, they are so open for interpretation that the umpires can get it wrong in the eyes of the footy public, but still get it right in the eyes of the umpire, bosses who would

say that's the way we want to pay it. So, when they touch anyone below the knees, it's the free and that's what they hear in their effects, like contact below the knees. Yeah, well, it was the first contact. Well, I would hope that it stays severe contact. I would like to, I'm not sure how it's actually written up, but I would still suggest that it is severe contact, but if you cause a guy to jump, if you dive across his legs and you cause him to jump to get out of the way of your dive, then I think that's still a allowance to pay that free kick. That's the way I would interpret it as an umpire. If you're about to have your legs snapped in half by a guy diving across them, when you're not kicking the ball, you're actually pursuing the ball, different if you're kicking it off the ground and the guy's trying to smother. But if you're pursuing the ball and the guy dives out your legs to try and cut you down and you jump to try and avoid it and the contact is minimal, I would still pay that as a free kick, wouldn't you? I would, but Dwayne, I just want more question to you. When Grand Maire Swank came in, he said, all the punching was going to be a week.

How many punches do we see now off the ball? Very, very few. Yeah, which is great, isn't it? Which is great. So all we have to do when the player, you know, dives with his head, just go right, doesn't matter where it is, that's going to cost a goal. So be it. Just play hold in the ball. Yeah, no, I'm with you here. I think players leading with their head, there needs to be a crack down on that. I'm agreeing with you 100% on that. And there will be some tinkering with the rules at the end of this season. So we'll be talking about that in the off season as to what tinkerings you do and don't want. Alan in your castle, what can you, Alan? Hey, Dwayne, thanks for taking my call, mate. I reckon Matthew Pavlich could be under the puppet. Why is that? Well, I personally think he's one of the greatest players to ever play, that never won a grand final. He's sort of, he's of that, he was just brilliant. And then he got into a grand final and they lost to the swans.

Now he's taken over swap coast and he's the sea out, the swans, and he's got to manage the swans torpedoing themselves. And then it could possibly end up that he's going to be playing free, man, on the old club, if they get both get through to the grand final. And I think he's just, if he can get him there, he's doing a fantastic job. Yeah, strange one. I don't think he's under the pressure that you think he's under, but interesting call. Good to have you. Pressure metakristen, Bannock, Bernu, there Chris. Yes, good, Dwayne. I think Dwayne was under the most pressure because he would be coaching against Chris Got. So if Sam Mitchell can out coach for him, and he'll surely, Chris Got, will out coach that Dwayne. No problem. Yeah, so do you think they can flick the switch though Chris and play better? I mean, the key forwards let him down last week, Josh Fraisi, you know, four positions, Jim, as far position, Patrick Vosno goes.

Yeah. But you long failed to start well. They're able to adapt a quarter time quickly. Yeah. And it's been happening for quite a while. Yeah, you're long adapted last week. In the end, I kind of shut down Patrick Cripps in the second half because Cripp was doing well on the first half. And he does have that opportunity to adjust or that wherever the order with just Chris Got. So you're right on that. Yeah, you're probably right. Maybe Justin Lomua is under the most pressure. Paulie Monington, you there, Paul. Yeah, good afternoon, Paul. I know that you've been brought up before. I'm purge when they're trying to ball up, but you look at the Rutland. Well, the time they get to that ball, the ball is barely being thrown up above their heads. Now, why aren't they throwing it up that extra couple of kilometres where they can actually jump and hit the thing? Well, seven metres were a total preseason. We're told the umpires were told they had to throw at seven metres, but they probably don't don't practice a ball. They're not full-time professionals. So these are the skills of the game. We expect them to be precise with, but because they don't practice it, Paul, as much as they should, they often don't get it right.

Yeah, I'm breathing with that. And it's not an upper throw ball up here. It's what I'm wondering. Well, you still need to practice it. It's like any skill. If you don't practice it over and over and over again, you can't throw it to the same spot. If I asked you to throw the ball up to exactly the same spot, you know, ten times in a row, exactly the same height, exactly the same height. If you hadn't practiced it, Paul, it'd be a hell of a lot worse at trying to nail it every time than you'd practice it a hundred times. I'm actually an umpire down the one to finish it. And it's up throw it up as high as I can. Yeah, I would have always used two, Paul. It gives the ruckus me for a good lead. Well, you can't go wrong if you throw it up as high as you can. It's only when you throw it terribly, that you're wrong if you throw it too low. So throw it up as high as you can. You can't go wrong. Good, have your Paul. I need to take a break. Come back to your calls and text out the break. Who's in the individual pressure meter? One, three hundred, seven, three, six, seven, three, six is the number. Got a few things to give away, including some significant boost power banks. Free Madelance of the text.

Free Madeline Justin Lomua, another one on the pressure meter. This is Free Madeline's best season and best chance to win a premiership, including 2013. Don't go out in straight sets. Another one here. I'm putting Luke beverage in the pressure meter. If he can't land butters and Tim English leaves, beverage should resign enough is enough. Another one here. Individual pressure meter here. One, free Madel. Not just the forwards that need to lift, all must need to lift. Two, lock your nail. Has he already checked out? Three, Justin Lomua, four, Matthew Nix. And more nakedly little day will come to you as well. I know you're on the line. We'll get to you after the break. Then we've got a couple of callers on the line. And one, line free. If you want to jump on. One, three hundred, seven, three, six. Seven, three, six is the open line number you would wait for. Injured and need a good lawyer. You know what to do. Get carbon on the phone. Easy affordable parking. Less stress for your trip to Adelaide. Book your next trip and Avalon Airport Melbourne. Dwayne's World. We're Dwayne Russell.

Mark and Taylor's Hill is going to get back to your calls. One, three hundred, seven, three, six, seven, three, six, the open line number. If you'd like to join me, one, three hundred, seven, three, six, seven, three, six. What can you do? Get Avalon. I've got three things I want to say. First off, as a swan supporter, I'm in awe of my club. Did not expect that they were going to beat Brisbane and play the way they played. If they keep doing that, I have no doubts that they will make the grand final. My second point is they're talking about who should be the replacement captain at the swans. You know what? There's about 12 players that could fill that role. And actually, I think they're all leading at the moment. Even the young guys, they were phenomenal on the weekend. The third thing you talk about who's under the pressure meter, if Adelaide play the game, that they played against the swans in Sydney, Brisbane will be the team under the pressure because I don't think that they'll get past this week.

If they rock up thinking, we've got history, we'll just smash whoever we're playing this week and it won't be a problem. They're the team that's going to go ahead in straight set. So for me, Brisbane and number one on the pressure meter. Interesting call. Good day, Vickil. Dominic and Wengeraddo, what can you do, Dominic? How you going, Brian? Good. Good time, Lister. Thanks for jumping on. I was wondering, yeah, that's our end, Dursan. What do you think, Sir? Do you think you can do it? No, but... Yeah, how do you call yesterday? Look, I don't know. Is he pick 16, pick 24, pick 28? What's he worth? Do you think, Dominic? I don't know. Who's a pick 4, but you know, it didn't really do much, but I reckon it's not a flyer and maybe pick 10 from Melbourne. You know, maybe a viney or someone like that? Yeah, maybe viney. Yeah, I'd look, I don't think he's worth pick 10. I don't think he's quite got the runs on the board to be worth the pick 10. Then maybe he wasn't worthy of being picked 4 in the first place. Maybe North got that wrong.

And they could have taken Nick Watson as well, which we've talked about quite a bit, but he's obviously got some skill. He's obviously able to play, because I think most people thought he was worthy of being top 10, even if he wasn't worthy of being number 4. So I would, as a guess, I don't think Melbourne has got a pick in that 16 to 24 range. Well, I don't have a pick in that 16 to 24 range, but maybe they're going to end up with, maybe I'm beginning for pick 25, 26, 27, something like that. Dominic, just an interesting space with viney being available low and viney may be going to the club where his dad's the footy boss. So that does make a bit of sense when you think that through a good call. Great, Abbey Call. Let him call for North Pogodilin. Hi, I was very upset this week about full Clarkson. I think that North Melbourne not being a highly supported club, they should publicly apologize.

I want to sit on the news, because really, who wants to coach for that team? And the other figures, I spoke to you a few months ago about 10 meter arc and the throw-ups around the boundaries. And severe conditions on the weekend proved that the variables being the umpires, it doesn't work all the time. It's a very difficult game to adjudicate. So let's take away the other variables. What do you think? Well, so what would you do instead? Well, I told you, is it 15, 20 meters from the boundaries, just have a dotted line or whatever, you know? And pull it up there or throw it up. Because I'm a Melbourne supporter and go and can't get down that low and it drops a foot. We saw it on the weekend and other listeners are saying the same thing. So we can't adjust the rules just because Gourney can't be down there.

Yeah, maybe Gourney should come in closer to the boundary and lend and be ready for that short throwing. They can designate on the ground. Listen, it's a multi-billion dollar industry, sure a couple of extra lines. Maybe with a bit of advertising on it, that's making it. Yeah, Linda, we want to ball in or do we want more ball ups though? I know that it's easier to bring it in 15 meters and ball it up. Do we still want the tradition of the ball in though? Do we want to keep that? I'll throw it open. 13736736 is the number. And just on the Melbourne, there's going to be plenty of people in the one that job. That's a good job to get. They're going to be lined up, you know, all the way from Arden Street down Bergstrainer. I reckon, lend for what in that job? But publicly, for Clarkson's mental state, yeah, there should be, I think he deserves a proper apology. It's just the right thing to do. Right on the other side. You think what they're doing?

I think they were just being honest. I think they were just being honest and they tried to honestly answer the questions and they just went a bit too far with their honesty. So that's where I'm at with that, Lynn. But I'd rather honesty than tell us garbage, you know, making it up. Oh, he's the greatest coach that's ever been for us and we're shedding tears to let him go. I mean, at least tell us the truth. So I'm glad they told us the truth and I'm still glad they told us the truth on your hood and taught viny. I'd much rather prefer the truth than lies. Nick and Lily, they're all you there, Nick. Hello, I hope you're well. I'm ringing to praise the NFL side, the San Francisco 49ers. One are wonderful ways to come into town. They've done interviews, they've done clinics for kids, they've done other media things, they've done charity things. I mean, to see people like that come in that are with so much money and yet they're very, very well grounded. It sits an example for all sports, I think.

No, I love you, cool. It is a nice thing to give a bit of praise to them and the city has really come alive. It's been pretty wild. I can't wait to broadcast from the live side tomorrow to soak a bit more of it in. Johnny Moly, what do you think, John? I get a coin, how are you, mate? Good, thanks. That's the way. Just on your boundary, Charlie, you've got to keep them. We've got to have a little bit of tradition left in the game. We got rid of them out of the stuff in the center square. Yeah, just on, also, the media went, obviously, very hard on the swans and even commentary around. Should the AFL pull some levers to kick them out of the finals? Well, I don't know of anyone said that. That would have been way, way, way too far. John, but yeah, look, some of the media went too far. Some of the media went too far when there was accusations against Chris Fagan and Aleister Clarkson. Quite often, some of the media, and some of the non-media as well, people

who take an issue for their own sources to be able to get clicked, et cetera. There's a lot of taking stuff too far, John, in this world, but that's what we do. It started a bit of a snowball there on a particular agenda set. It's like they put the kettle on it, and then it's a room temperature, and by the end, there was steam coming out of the top. They would jump on over the top of each other to have a swipe. It was a little bit embarrassing, I thought. Now, I appreciate your call, John, it's still, well, Ashley, one three hundred seven, three, six, seven, three, six, the media awards in X, Tuesday night. What is the number one show in footy right now? Because the media awards in X, Tuesday, I wouldn't mind knowing what the number one show is. I mean, I watch them all. I like agenda setters. Yeah, sometimes they go a bit too far, and I put a bit too much mayo on it, but you know, I've been accused of putting too much mayo on stuff too. What's the number one show in footy these days? That's been a pretty competitive year. One three hundred seven, three, six, seven, three, six, we'll give away a signative power bankier

to your calls to a caller after we take a break. For some news headlines for McAfee from McAfee's new drinks range. Cool. From Eddie Cawls and Tex, what is the number one show? One here, the footy furnace is great, right? Unfortunately, it's not available free to wear. There's a cranny shin burner. I didn't know that. So footy furnace for you. Cut by the text that it come through. Well, there's a good variation in what the best show is according to the text machine. Let me read a few of these because it's a fun read A4 360s. Got a few votes. Fireball is the best. Love it. Dwayne the number one show is Monday night sports day. Similar cast on Fox footy. No ego, just three blows talk in common sense. Matt from Furn tree gully, nice text as well. I'm a bit of a fan of that as well. Dwayne Midday Madness is the number one show. Day from goal goal, we won't be winning an award. Next Tuesday night to not sure if we've ever entered in any category, but I appreciate your love.

But what will win number one show next week? A4 360 by a long way footy classified with Jimmy Bartel second that's from Snags. And another one here. Hi Dwayne top three footy shows number one first crack. Yeah, that's got to be a contender. I like first crack as well. A gender set is two and AFL tonight is three Dwayne Sunday footy show has got to be number one. Keep your text coming through or AFL 360 head and shoulders above the rest and high pipe glad to hear your well. Maybe not the most serious, but the front bar for me. Have a good lover to good point. The front bar, I wonder if they're a contender for best footy show. They're actually a footy show or not sure even whether they put in an entry. But it'll be interesting next Tuesday night. Tom and Tom is down. What's the number one footy show on TV? What can you Tom? Dwayne, yeah, look at interesting debate. I think it's a gender set, obviously, it's every week. Footy classified gets two nights every week. But one that I always tune in on is Midweek Fat Cool.

A lot of really good insights and they've always got, they always seem to set the agenda for the rest of the week. Scotty Gallard, obviously last night went with the fact that Robert Sand to Cunning would not be involved in any trade. Tom Morris goes this morning. So it's interesting, but the other one, which is, they also went last night with Maddie Rout of the Dogs. What are your thoughts on that? The Midweek tackle talking about Maddie Rout of the Dogs last night. Yeah, it's a little, it's pretty interesting. No one's been put on by a few different people, but I think the other one, which online is the best show is Gettable with CalTomy, is definitely a sort of out-of-the-one tone there. Good talk, Tom. Thanks for that, Grant. Any many ponds? What's the number one show, Grant? Yeah, Dwayne. I reconfirst cracked by a mile. I just love the in-depth analysis. I think that's excellent. I also wanted to see what your thoughts were on the possibility of Simon Goodwin as the next coach

to the Kangaroos. I'm not saying I think it's the best, but I'm just curious to see what you thought of it. Yeah, well, I would be surprised if North Melbourne didn't ask Simon Goodwin, John Lommer, Adam Simpson, Corey Henwright, Jamie Graham, ask them all to come along and present. And not all of them are got flags, Grant, but Simon Goodwin has. So he's got to be a contender. And I think it's done in the world of good being with Sydney this year. Yeah, I reckon he's an option. Don't know if he's the right guy, but he's an option. Might be an option for Adelaide as well, if Tom Morris ends up proving correct, and Matthew Nix is still under the pump. Good, Avi Cool. Grant, thanks for jumping on. Charles on the road. You're there, Charles. What's the number one, Charles on TV? I reckon it's first cracked by Miles. Hurricane King is the best pure, footy analyst. They all disagree sometimes, but they do respectfully.

They go deep into footy, but it's accessible to my kids who are footy nuts as well. So I reckon it's the best show by Miles. Yeah, King has been a great performer. He might win the Alf Brown for the best performer in TV and radio. He might be a chance to knock Cain Corns off. That'll be big for fireball. If he grabbed Cain Corns as Alf Brown award, or Jira Wiley's Alf Brown award, that's awarding next Tuesday night, by the way, for the best overall performer on TV. And radio, Jira Wiley and Cain Corns, I think the two that normally win that. Neil and Paul Melbourne, you there, Neil. Hello, Dwight. What do you got for us, Neil? Oh, just quickly, just on the Matthew Nix story, Cain ran with it, knows and is up saying that he's someone in a board level he's spoken to. I think he's not able to see his question on that number time, but at least not just someone around the club, but it was someone higher up had gone with that, that it mixed in in that game. I just think, I don't know, a bit of a whack for you today.

I think it's a bit of a way to go with this story about, you know, now what happens if he loses this game? Because no one has checked up and verified the story. You can just, I find it surprising that that board member hasn't got the set. Surely the club now where it came from, it actually could do our whole panel. So why isn't that source and the scrutiny? And I know you do know, it's going to say all of the things I can't just go to the board here. So when did Cain say it was a board member? Well, he was asked specifically if it was someone higher up than just around the club. He was asked that on that channel, seven. But it's not a bad story. It's a kind of, Cain didn't source the source. Tom Mars of story. So I don't know how Cain would then alleged that it's a board member. It wasn't his story that it was Tom Mars of story. So it's Cain now saying that a board member has set it near. Is that where it's at? It's Cain alleging that it was a board member because I've heard anyone alleged that it's a board member. That actually narrows it down a bit near. And I thought that most of the journals would be afraid

to narrow it down that far. Well, Cain actually said that what Tom Mars went with it saying that it was somewhere higher than and Cain's gone with that as well saying that it was someone. It's a kind of just guessing. So Cain's just guessed then. He hasn't actually alleged. He's just guessed. Wishing that he's not Tom Mars is just in all making it up. Well, no, they think he has a source, but he hasn't named a board member. So it's best for you not to alleged that it's a board member as well. And we're not alleged it's a board member. You're obviously just quoting Cain Cain who didn't alleged it. He actually guessed it. So let's just clarify that. It's obviously not a board member then because no one's. No one's been able to clarify who Tom Mars's source is, but Tom Mars certainly didn't say it was a board member. I'm glad we got there eventually. That's the trouble with people coming on and saying they heard this and heard that and then half making it up. Because I haven't heard Cain make that allegation myself. I haven't heard Cain go with the story

other than ask Tom Mars what the story is. So back to your calls and texts after the break, you would arrange what. Engine and need a good lawyer. You know what to do. Get carbon on the phone. Why across Australia with less hassle, easier parking and smoother starts? Book your next trip from Avalan Airport in Melbourne. Dwayne's world. Where's Dwayne Russell? From it to your calls and texts one here. Hi Dwayne, absolutely loved the way you shut down the rubbish that people try to spread by asking them for facts. Listening to them scramble is the best way you can get. Keep up the good word Nick from Tom Mars down. Yeah, it's annoying that people want to come on and make stuff up. Again, Tom Mars didn't alleges that it was a board member. Cain calls didn't alleges that it was a board member and we're not alleging that it was a board member. But people do want to come on and make stuff up all the time, unfortunately. And that's why I dumped so many calls. I probably should have dumped that call as well. But again, no one's alleging that it was a board member of the Adelaide Crows. And a lot of money here. Dwayne, that's three times in three weeks that someone's come on and miss quite it.

Someone and made false allegations. It is disappointing and embarrassing. But people like to throw their own two cents worth in and there's no repercussions for them. Just repercussions for me and Hutchy if we get it wrong. Paul in South Yarrow, you there. Paul, you're going to throw on the boundary throwing. Paul, I just have to say that this is the same news. Hello Paul. I'm Dwayne. Paul. Hey, I'll just talk to the customer. I think it's just quickly on here, I'll be throwing. Yeah, lead and call field call. I'm going to get the customer first. If you need to get the customer, Paul, more and more important. No, all done, mate. All done. All done. I just going to say I tried calling up a little bit early in the year about this. I was thinking about how the NRR with the, I got those penalty kicks where the ball goes over the sideline. The player passes the ball in about 10, 15 meters and then subsequently passes in another 10 or so meters to the player who runs with the ball. And they got me thinking about having the boundary on fire throw past the ball to the field

on fire in AFL games and then throwing the ball up 20, 25 meters in. Might not need a dotted line, but somewhere that's kind of neutral between the boundary and the center square or the, with somebody like even between half way between the 50 meter arc, for example. Yeah, whether we want to get rid of the throwing though from the boundary as a tradition, that's the hard part. It makes sense in a way to just throw it in the air, let the umpire throw it in the air 15 meters or 20 meters in from the boundary. But I think it's getting rid of another tradition in the ball, the throwing the people alive because there's a different kind of rock contest. I appreciate you calling out. Rowley and Rovey, what can you get the number one show in your mind? What can you, Rowley? Rowley, no, how you doing mate? Good. That's good. Just calling that the best show, it's got to be farble, doesn't it? Get up early and do the work. Love it, Andrew, for the Scray, you got someone in the pressure meter? Oh, Dwain, can you hear me? Yes, you're on the air. Okay, thank you for taking my call, Dwain, I love you showers as always and thanks for

you work. Look, I think this is in the spirit of the pressure meter. I'm putting, as you know, or you may remember, I'm a Western ball, ball, ball, ball, ball remember. I'm putting the whole club into the pressure meter for next year, actually. I say that because I believe the 40 club's had a bit of a cross ride, so I'm fearful that it is having now lost three elimination finals, a grand final in 2021, the way we lost it. It just seems that we can't really break clear of these sorts of losses in these sorts of games. So, I don't know, that's my comment. I'd love to know your thoughts. Yeah, I think most predicted your preseason finish based on the thought the Sam D'Arcy might be available or year Andrew. So that's the hard part. Imagine Collingwood without Nick Deicos available all year or, you know, how the cats would have gone if Jeremy Cameron wasn't available all year, even though it's been unavailable half of it. So that's the issue I suppose with the dogs. I'd prepared to cut them some slack, but there's a lot of dog fence putting bevo in the

pressure meter. I think they've had a pretty good year Andrew. Yeah, you have one the flab, you haven't been terrible either. And I if I'm running the dogs would rather have stability than, you know, be upset in the apple cart now and toss on my coach and looking for someone new, especially if you're in the running for Zach Buddies. Yeah, I can, yeah, Pat, now Farah, I'm going to look, I agree with you. I think, I like, I think he's done a great job this year in many respects. And yes, we have had injuries. I, you know, that's obvious. But I just wonder whether we can sort of break out of that mold of just finishing where we seem to be finishing and what it will take to move us forward. I'm just not quite sure if that current mold is fired and been able to do or will be able to do that. That's all. Well, if you get Sam Darcy back and you get Zach Buddies, then your whole world changes and all of a sudden you're locked in for maybe being Premiership Favourite next year, that's the difference maker of good recruiting and getting players fit. So hopefully for dogs fans, you get Buddies and Sam Darcy has a four year next year and

you can be knocking on the door of a flag as opposed to finishing, you know, six seventh eighth. Now, I need to take a break speaking of fireball. There's a lot of fireball love coming through. We're coming through on the phones. Had it come through on the text. You can get your fireball merch at the SCN Merch and Dice site. You can get your Dwayne's word merch as well. Dwayne's word hats, Dwayne's word t-shirts. I don't think there's all sizes left in the Dwayne's word t-shirts. But if you need some fireball merch and you're a fireball lover, you're a Kingy lover and a Kane lover, make sure you log on and get your fireball merch. Kane and Kingy would love you to buy more. We'll take a break. You would Dwayne's word. Engine and need a good lawyer. You know what to do. Get carbon on the phone. Easy affordable parking. Less stress for your trip to Adelaide. Book your next trip from Avalon Airport, Melbourne. Dwayne's world. We're Dwayne Russell. Thanks to all of you sent through texts on the 40-winks tape of text. So for W390-A1116, let me race through a few texts. Dwayne, pressure meter. Number one, the 49ers. The Rams have excuses, jet lag, no end Donald.

So 49ers for sure. That's from Rashad. I'll be broadcasting for the live side tomorrow at Rodlava Aval. So if you want to come in and say hello, that'll be great. Fireball is the best show. They keep coming. The fireballers, I don't know. The fireballers are sending these through themselves, but do they get a lot of votes? The fireballers. I Dwayne, pressure meter. I'm an Eagle supporter. Mini has to be under the pump in 2027. The last year of a three-year contract, very few players improve 2025 and 2026. By mid-season, he will be gone. That's from Bryce. Thank you. Bryce. And Dwayne, I think Frio, under the most pressure, not just coach Justin Long-Mill, but the whole club cheers at Dean T. Dwayne, top of the pressure meter for me. One Matthew Nicks, two Voss of three-mountain, three-locky Neil. Not at the pies yet. Susan, thank you. Susan, who is a regular textor. I'm a semi-shannon-neal and danger-fueler in the pressure meter after the 2025 grand

final performances of both. And Dwayne, I don't want to put this in the pressure meter, but the Jeremy Cameron situation is at fascinating or embarrassing. We can see he's not right. Alan will talk about Jeremy Cameron after the news, because it's quite a few coming through saying that he's in the pressure meter. Dwayne is Jeremy Cameron in the pressure meter, Troy in Chelsea. Daniel and Huan had a bit to say about Jeremy Cameron last night, so I'll play a little bit of what Huanie had to say last night, probably because I'm in the same boat of the same belief as Huanie. Dwayne is a cat's fan. I think Jeremy Cameron is under the pump, not right physically and mentally, concerned cat man. I think he is well enough. I think it's been overcooked. The whole Jeremy Cameron thing. The cats are going okay with him playing at a half back. I think their four lines move in well and I think I like him playing up the fuel, but we'll take your thoughts on that after the break for news as well.

So keep it course calming. There's a few lines free. We'll get you after the break. If you want to jump on, now's the time. You'll better be quick. Line's been full for the first 49 minutes, but there's a few lines free now. 13736736 for Metricon midday Madness Metricon Australia's number one home builder. Can you do need a good lawyer?

Fly made easy out of Avalon Airport Melbourne. The text keeps coming on Jeremy Cameron being in the pressure meter when he Cameron not worth a game. At the moment he's performed poorly in pressure finals. If they do play him, I hope he can lift. So here's Daniel Hoen last night. I think Jeremy Cameron's going all right too. I think the cats are going okay within playing. Where is playing?

Here's Daniel Hoen last night on Sports Day on Jeremy Cameron's form and where he's fitting into this gelon team and where some people have got it wrong or not. Jeremy's record in wet games. Even when he's been healthy, full healthy, very minimal impact. Very minimal. Hardly hardly gets near it. That's just not Jeremy. I'm looking to go, don't you want the footy in this guy's hands 15 to 18 times a game. How can we possibly give the footy to him 15 to 18 times a game? This Ford 50 is humming at the moment. It hasn't functioned as well as what it has all season. And Jeremy isn't there. Jeremy's not there. I'm not sure if you guys agree, Ken or G, but the version of Jeremy is not the target. He can't be the target.

A player inside Ford 50 like he has been over the last 10 to 12 years because that's just not him. You almost need a training as Jeremy Smith or Jeremy Joe or whatever you want to call. He's not Jeremy Cameron that type of player, but I'll tell you what he can still be. Is his ball use is the point of difference? You look at the last three years guys. The top five players in the game that impact from ball use. These are the top five. Nassau is number one. Ed Richards number two. Isaac Heaney number three. Jeremy Cameron number four. Nick Daykos number five. Good company. So I am doing whatever I can to get the footy in his hands 18 times. So any of you playing, Ken? Because I tell you just before we finish the last three years when he's had 18 disposals in a game of footy. Yep. Which has happened 20 times. Jolonga 17 and three. And one of those three was when he went off with the shoulder against GWS and they'll 40 points in front.

Right. So I'll make it 18 and two. Which is I just I'm getting I'm playing him wing half that up wherever it is to try and get the footy in his hands. And on the weekend conditions didn't suit him. Don't panic. Don't worry about it. I would have thought Ken that if I'm just a long viewer, he's still creating a headache for me at match committee this week with where and what he can potentially do with ball in hand. And I was Daniel Haen last night on Sports Day and I'm with Haen. I'm not dropping Jeremy Cameron. I don't know where this whole drop in Jeremy Cameron things come from, but I'm certainly not on that bus. Manny in the sunshine coast. You got a thought on this one. Do you, Manny? And if you want to jump on the line 137367366 is the number. Walk into your money. Why are you going, buddy? Good. Firstly, let me say, right? I wouldn't be dropping you, mate. Because tonight's drop is tonight. Drop is tonight. Drop. You imagine when it's especially knock out game. Right? That's the first point. The second point is on the negative side.

Right? What he says on our three years. Let's just talk about the last three months. Right? Things that actually relevant. Right? It's hardly such a ball. It's not such a bad idea to talk. There's no use in the ball the way what it's supposed to say. Right? I am sick. And so is everyone else who has long supporters of hearing. Now he's got his bad arm injury and everything. The air in the same breath. All you ever hear is, the long day they deploy engine play it. The long day play engine play it. Now when they actually start that play lap for a bit, they've got engine play it. Now it's got to come out this way. And then it's a weapon. It's a little bit of that. It was pretty crappy in the 24-bit round. The 24-bit round. 24-bit round. Oh, he got a bad coach. Well, let's take him outside. Because you know, it's way, way, way, way, way, way. So which one is it, mate? You're flying the engine? That's all engine?

No, mate. And you can get it. Appreciate your call, Marty. There's a bit of gelong jealousy out there. I'll get that. But no, I'm almost here about excuses in the grand final. I thought, don't you feel it handled it beautifully. He didn't make any excuses on SCN or, sorry, on AFL 360. When he was on last night, he said there's no excuses. When you run out, you run out. And he's not going back on the excuse mode either, even though Chris got did throw one out. But look, even though Haney, I'm not a big one for Haney's stats a lot of the time either. So forget the stats side of things. I'm still not dropping Jeremy Cameron. When the bottom line is, you play Jeremy Cameron. He might not be getting it as many times as he normally gets it. But you're still playing him. It's crazy this talk about dropping him. But if you've got a thought on that, I'd love to hear from you. 137367368, open line number. Double on the text. Jesa will get going this weekend. And absolutely, the tear apart a prelim. If they make it just you wait, could be the ace in the pack for a cat's tilt dug in Richmond.

And a lot of text still coming through about who's under some pressure. Sam DeConey, under pump. If he gets a game this week, pipe. It'll be interesting to see if they play Sam DeConey. Mark of the line, don't coast. Thanks for holding Mark. Welcome to you. Cheers, mate. Yeah, all this hoar about Sam DeConey's made me think about other potential back to get at St. Kilda. Now, a lot of players, you'd know very well. A lot of players, they play at one club and they're pretty average. And then they'll move to another club. And in a different atmosphere and a whole different environment, they shine. Ben Long comes to mind. He was very average at St. Kilda. And he went to the goal coast. And he absolutely shines now. Then you have the opposite. You have players that were really good players. And a bit like that macaulad at, used to be at North Melbourne. Ben Macaul. Yeah. And then he goes to another club and it all kind of just falls apart for them.

I think Ben Macaul, we know he's a good player. We saw him at North. He's a damn fine player. I think that a change of atmosphere for him could be a lease, a new life so to speak. And I think he'd probably do all right underneath Ross Lyon. I think he's also, don't quote me on this, but I'm sure I heard somewhere that he had a very, very front-ended contract. I can't remember where I saw or heard that. Apparently his contract was heavily front-ended and he's not, it's not that expensive to get him now. And I've also heard that Essendon are open to moving him on. So with all this Sam DeCooning stuff that I saw in the media today, perhaps the Saints should pivot, put a little bit of fear into Jolong and not getting marshal, because Essendon was interested in marshal. Perhaps pivot to Essendon and see what kind of thing, what kind of stew they can cook up.

Yeah, depends on which Ben Macaul you get. That's the hard part, Mark. They might be able to turn him around, but I'm still probably, I'm still reconcerned to Coney's going to be a better long term bet than Ben Macaul. But yeah, if you're getting him for nothing, it might be a good idea. Jack and Ringwood issue, they're Jack. Hey, good afternoon, Duane. How are you? Good, thanks. I've just been hearing and rearing that Essendon Richer and I going above him, Yom's a bit on Cody Walker. I mean, it's just pretty desperate from two clubs that need to find themselves. Pretty on Cody Walker, just to even make Coney up their offer. I just think it's pretty, pretty side of times where they're at as well. And I think that if they're all way, which is, well, I just think what are they bidding for? You're going to get him. He's coming to Coney's. He's going to be walking the sun. Well, what are you getting at? What are you getting at? You get compensation. You get an end of first round pick. Well, if they're good on Cochran, then he could drop down a four and five. But they have to bid on Coney Walker, don't they? So just, no, I think it's wrong, Coney. I'm glad we didn't get Bikku Thomas.

I think the five years was too much and overrated for players. Is Caledon? What do you think, Duane? No, I think Bikku has got a big upside. I'm glad the dogs kept him, but I think he would have been good at Coney. I mean, everyone's got their idea of, you know, we don't want to pay too much for this guy. We don't want to pay too much for that guy, but if he's Caledon, you also don't want to finish ninth and tenth again next year. I mean, you want to be having a crack for the flag. And I don't think Caledon will be able to win the flag with the list they've got now. So if you don't add over the off season, you're going to have some players get better. I agree with you. You're going to get players getting better. Jagger Smith included. But I don't think that Caledon with this list, unless you add some good players or recruit extremely well over the summer, you know, is going to be rising from ninth or tenth to top two. You could rise to five six, but will it be top two? That's why you got to go and I think I'd add guys like Bikku, Kamas, if you can, if you can. Good, Abbey Cool. A lot of text coming through today. Duane Logan Morris, as under the pump, was lippy last week for very little outlay.

That's from As. Morning pipe. They're talking it up over here in Perth. I reckon you'll see a different free battle side against Jelong this Friday. Big forwards will bounce back Sam and Perth. I reckon you might be right that they'll bounce back. And Duane, not your how-nix could be in the pressure meter based on this game, when no one is giving them a chance. My opinion is he should be gone anyway. Game style is terrible. And the reason why we have performed well below par, Peter, in happy valley. Well, maybe he should be gone anyway and some people's eyes. But I do think there's a chance that well, I'm a grammar Ken Henkley. I reckon Brisbane can flip their attitude. And Brisbane have a history this year of when they get their back sides kicked. The next week they come out and kick someone else's back side. Here's a bit of Ken Henkley on Brisbane flicking the switch with attitude this week against the cross. You're just talking attitude, aren't you? 100% attitude. And attitude is fixable instantly, isn't it? I would have thought so. If you want to fix attitude, you can fix attitude. Yeah. And if you're going to get tested and you're going to break that easily with in that space,

well, you probably can't win if it attitudes fixable. And that's why I think they do respond. I think when they get a whack, they actually get a bit shitty. They get a bit shitty. They get a bit shitty and they go, you know what? I'm just going to come after it. So attitude is an adjustable part of your game, I think, that can fluctuate, unfortunately, from good to bad. You reckon they might get a bit shitty. And I think they can still win the flag to Brisbane Lions. Back with your calls out for the break.

Set any tips for the return next Sunday's datauego. Have a good afternoon. Sorry. Ioni said today we go and fuck everyone. We're now we're 12 새� and the next Sunday's next day.

Feels like today's grand day. Sorry we wanted to be two o'clock. Who can i get Mrs Alurnman back to collect escort Con Give aha ar because all the things are changed. So now it's time for that. honest about his own player's performance. So honest and then when the young boy signed on for eight years yesterday and he was sitting there it nearly brought me to tears to see the look of appreciation on his face and I'm a Collinwood supporter and he's an amazing man. Love it Trisha. He's been arguably the best coach of the decade and the the way that he has been able to get the players eating out of the palm of his hand does show that he's the true loving human being I think and that's probably why it gets the best out of them and he's trusting even when they're out of form he trusted a few of them to turn their form around including Charlie Cameron who was out of form quite a bit last year but turned it on grand final day. Nice call Trisha you can see that love in his eyes when it was announced that Zach Bailey was staying yesterday

good call Bradding Clifton Springs you there Brad. I always want to put in the pressure mode of the North Melbourne footy club selection for the new coach. Yeah if they don't win any more than nine games next year. I'm gonna have a good face because Clark always go and plays with that club. Yeah. We just lose you there Brad so we just lost you there can you repeat what you're saying I just lost you there for a second. I don't improve and win 10 games next year. Yeah. So was it just next year or was it the next three years Brad? Well I mean how long have you got? It's a bit like Ross line how long's Ross line got to make this group a top four or a top six team. So we've sort of cut Ross line some slack wouldn't a what a new coach have to do it in year one or you know Den Cox didn't do it in year one but he's doing it in year two for the Sydney swans he had a horrible year one even though you know John Lomar wasn't sacked but some coaches they find a

difficult year one but get it going in year two it's not always year one that's the year so when would they have ego in their face after year one or after two three. The after year one and Ross line should be under pressure as well like what other than I got in the year you know Dan there's a computer we get away with murder. Oh quite murder but football and a football sense I hear what you say but haven't they improved a bit to the Saints this year Brad? They solved the farm and brought the cut over it. Yeah. They really produced. Fair enough. I think he's under pressure next year I think next year is the year. It's D day four we know that it's D day four Ross line next year they have to perform better next year because depending on whether they lose real martial etc or who they do get to the club over the offseason as well but it is going to be pretty big year for Ross line and yeah if you've got a thought on North Melbourne Brad's thoughts on North Illinois still there Brad.

Got something for you got a few things to give away to the next couple of callers in fact so one three hundred seven three six seven three six if you'd like to jump on one three hundred seven three six seven three six got a couple of Dwayne's world caps that I've grabbed from Hutchice Merchandise site or a sign of Bruce Powerbank which one would you like Brad? I'll get a cap to you out there in Kripton Springs so jump on the line we'll get you on one three hundred seven three six seven three six you want to grab yourself a sign of Bruce Powerbank or a Dwayne's world cap. Here is Daniel Hoin on how Adelaide can beat Brisbane this weekend speaking of Adelaide and their chances and Brisbane may be smashing them he's a little bit of horny on Adelaide last night. Adelaide are the hardest team in the competition to take uncontested marks against so it's just whether or not whether they're going to be able to implement that against the best ball movement team in the competition but if they are and if they are able to make it a warfare combat type sort of game high contest high pressure that I think is there is

their probably their main and only opportunity on Saturday night to get to get a win against against Brisbane and the other thing you know that we saw on the weekend and I heard heard a little bit of what the two of you said you know last night just there's accuracy in for it's just it helps and the dogs miss so many opportunities Saturday night and then they get behind and till thought followed by walker followed by foggy to just go bang bang bang and just you know and in their campaign there's been no more accurate team in the competition this year than then then Adelaide so there's a couple of the reasons as to why they could potentially get the job done against Brisbane setting on. Daniel Horn on how Adelaide can actually get up take a break take a break for news come back to more of your calls and text you would want to work for carbon lawyers when things go wrong get carbon on the phone and for avalan airport Melbourne fly made easy out of avalan airport Melbourne I won't hit Wayne put him on the line mate Nick's losers and he's sacked or give it a

rest hedging your bets mate make a call or drop it the bottom line is it's not my story the nix is going to get sacked I don't think you will get sacked but if Tom Morris the story was was correct a week ago that there are people that are thinking nix's time is up then surely those same people will be watching this week to try and work out whether they still think nix's time is up given that he's only one one game since and that was a home game and another one here players made that call of Clark oh yes on your hood and Todd Viny didn't just make up everything that they said off the top of their head they interviewed a lot of people at North Melbourne to come up with the stuff that they said is truth a Sam and killer down before the break you there Sam come on your Drainay a couple of things first of all I think whoever takes over at North Melbourne coach will only have next year to improve in the in the context if they go backwards that's the only win six seven games no that's not good enough they they've made that decision to replace a full-time

premiership coach with someone else okay let's see how they go with a new coach the pressure is right on North Melbourne also I'll ask your opinion Drain in your game so Sam they have to finish on in a higher ladder position or with more wins next year otherwise they've made the wrong call it's that that's the bottom line yes yeah okay and my second thing I want to ask you as a opponent supporter if Conny was a choir lucky Neil and Jesse Hogan do you think that will give them a significant improvement next year give them a good some praise come back yes absolutely okay I just want your thoughts well so could you have endorsed that much you've lost still side bottom and Scott Pendelbury who you know we're on the way out anyway trying to think of who else you've lost Sam it's you still got the whole squad plus you're adding two that are probably gonna add more than still side bottom and Scott Pendelbury are

taking away from you yes yeah good point Drain yep not good day be cool Sam thanks for jumping on keep your girls coming we'll take your girls out the break for Metric on midday matters for Metric on Australia's number one home builder if you want to jump on 133736736 back your calls after some new headlines for Maccas you can try Mccaface new drinks range at the driver Brandon and Milton as we head back to your calls on that open line 133736736 brought to us by where we're here you call you get on that's the midday matters promise Brendan you've called you're on what do you okay just all the people ringing up saying that when we get to knock the open coaching deep if the first year the failure then the big deployment to failure the most huge from Sonja Wood was that or and from Vaughan he was that a lot of the issues that were coming from Fargo was confusing the players towards into the season it may take 12 months like players to be reset from a playing

perspective so if you see coaches been giving two years to at least try and reset the players mindsets then that's not a fault of the coach coming in that's the ultimate thing to play through people this up as they go yeah so how long how long do you be under the the the ten coxen area with some first-time coaches or first-year coaches don't quite get right or don't quite get lucky or get a few injuries etc like he had to wear a golden last year and a few other players so it would be more about the second year as much as the first year is pretty important the second year would be the big one wouldn't it Brendan yeah well second year we think about Sydney Dean cox walked into a much better situation than this coach walk into a dog dog that was the player and the development of the players at that time so I don't see any reason why just one year should be enough for a player the coach to have failed yeah but can I just also extend it then Brendan and that that is if it was John Lomire who got the job or Adam

Simpson who got the job would the expectation be higher for North next year than if Jamie Graham or Cory in right got the job we're gonna track record there as a coach who has been able to gather and do that but there's no guarantee they're gonna get that coach in the door to do that with those players yeah the players should take more than 12 months to potentially reset and the bodies are those that keep saying that they're young at least but they're not really that young at least but they might take more time to reset their mindsets and their way they play the game there's people thinking at the moment yeah good at the discussion with you Brendan if you want to weigh in 13736736 is the number I think the expectation would be higher next year for North Melbourne to improve their latter position and their win loss if John Lomire or Adam Simpson took that job but I think that there would be less of an expectation if it was a Cory in right and Jamie Graham and this is a two or three-year development re-calibration if you like under this new coach

before the expectation was that you made the eighth or the ten if you got a thought I'd love to hear from you Lewin East Melbourne what do you do you got a thought? Yes I hope you're well I've just been listening to a few of the last calls about the North Melbourne coaching position and the club as a whole and I understood what the earlier call was damn point wise to a point I just think that if a new coach comes in whoever that person may be is going to be given a little bit of leeway with the playing group with a new playing strategy or whatever I think the push is on the board I think the push is on the North Melbourne club in general rather than just the point the person they have point I think you know they went with Clark go it didn't work even though they gave it for you to clearly get them work did he improve it? I think he's getting through the issue they didn't through but I mean the thing is he can't just

run for on a new coach you know the board could have taken responsibility or the other coaches or the team managers that's the way I see it I just don't think you can make a new coach just goes that's all yeah look Lew I'm not on the bus full of people who are of the belief that Sonja who needs to go and they fail because they got rid of Alistair Clarkson that's not where I'm at my belief is they did the right thing in going to get Alistair Clarkson and he has improved them a bit and he did as well as he could and it was a good appointment it just hasn't improved them enough so doesn't mean you you're not either 100% wrong or 100% right in this world all the time sometime this this middle ground everyone wants to be an extremist all Sonja Hood needs to go or all they got this 100% wrong sack them sometimes it's the truth is in the

middle and I think the truth is in the middle with North Melbourne I think Alistair Clarkson did improve them I think he was quite a good appointment but he wasn't quite good enough in the end so now you're trying to get the next person who can take you to the next level because Alistair Clarkson took them maybe as far as he could take them but at least it was a step forward so you know I don't know why people are coming at Sonja Hood so hard but people want people's heads to be locked off in this business over and over and over again Carlos and Keith Poggani Carlos Here you go Mark. Good. Yeah just a quick one on the on the end of the end of the middle I think that's a great thing the one thing I'm concerned about a little bit you didn't remember back in the day when they had a lot of trouble with the turf that model stating or crying it was starting back then there's all catchy I just hope someone doesn't roll their ankle or worst due to the night on the corner of the turf that's being pulled up

put back down again and that's I'm really concerned about yeah if that happens it could put a big down on them doing such a thing again that's just well listen yeah like if they are replacing it and it sounds like they are Carlos so you and the you and the turf business and I know there's there much turf growing in Keith it's pretty dry in Keith well I'm working in Buretaine today in just outside of Buretaine is the summer side turf which points LA logo. All right here well I mean you've got to trust the experts to get it right these days but there is always I think trepidation when you do hear that they're replacing large portions of turf so on with you on that more texts have been coming through people like to correct me so I read a couple of texts that correct me I said that who's calling with losing still saw bottom of Scott Pennellbury one on the text wants to correct me and say that they're losing Bobby Hill from Liam Liam I didn't include Bobby Hill because I really didn't have Bobby Hill this year either anyway and one he's saying they'll also get Darcy more back next year that's

true and improvement for the young players like Ed Allen and Swaddling so that's true Collingwell will get that natural improvement from those guys so I'm agreeing with you on that especially if you go and recruit a couple of you know B plus players like it sounds like Collingwood are about to and hey Dwayne do you think most people are missing the point was it Claco's behavior around the club Ron from Buller you I think Carol Watson's article on what Claco is a ledster who said in the lift and the fact that he had to apologize to those AFLW players and he's still not getting it right when it comes to stuff like that and the way he dressed the players a couple of times which you know he dressed them in a way that was probably perfect for you know 2010 but not perfect for 2026 I think there is a little bit of that 100% and Dermott and I argued or had a debate about that last week I think when Sonny Hill was talking about a modern coach for modern times I think she was talking about more than just the movement of magnets or take a break back to your calls and text next you with Dwayne toward 137367368 the open line number of you died to join me

I just read another 40 or 50 text during the ad break thanks to all of your sensory text today by the way on the 40 Winks Tampa text 0433 98 1116 for 40 Winks and Tampa one here Dwayne North Bellman have to play finals next year anything else as a cop out they don't want to waste another year with Alistair so they didn't want to waste another year with Alistair so can't afford to waste another year learning a new coaches game plan has to come in and work and play finals another here I've got Ross in the gun next year big fail of the players they need to make the finals or he's gone that's from that and when he had Dwayne how do you know what Claco said pipe well I read what he said apparently in the lift and what he said to the players reportedly so you can only read what's reported of red what's reported and Raylen and Thornbrie's got a thought on Alistair Clarkson as so many on the text how what do you Raylen hi Dwayne I just think I love Chris Scott I'm very lucky he's our coach he just speaks with such clarity and quite a bit of

kindness and his words about Alistair it was more about how they presented it it's there right to make the decision and that he said and I reckon this is true they tried to over explain it and gave up to much information I think that was an error but anyway God bless them all and you know Alistair Clarkson is an icon of the football history and I'm a long supporter and you know like we love to I love to hate him all those years but I respect his body of work but I'm too free mantle here we are with an opportunity I'm just how do we get how do we get Sam in because we're needing for the tall forwards how do we do that so well you got to have to drop someone Raylen that's the bottom line so do you drop a do you drop a mid do you drop a defender which defender do you drop I don't think you get him in do you Raylen it's it's a pretty tough call given how they performed the other night you know like Gartner informed team

you know we didn't beat nobody we beat yeah one of the two most informed teams in the competition Hawthorne being and Brisbane probably being the other ones but you know like yeah it's an interesting call so I'm looking forward to it I don't envy that decision but go cats have you got a name that you would drop or not or do you just leave Sam out okay I would just look for anyone that maybe has carrying too much injury yeah because I think we've got enough flexibility to actually sort of cover across the ground yeah yeah I mean you could the four lines going so well you can't kick poking horn out there he's playing some no exactly so I think Sam misses out yeah good to have the chap with you Raylen I better get to as I mentioned a few times we've got a full board of course so I want to get to you all where's Chris in Mitchell Park yeah that Chris wanted to get to you as well before we wrap it up for two o'clock and then talk to Sammy Eben I want to keep the midday matters promised you

call you get on and we've had a full board of calls for most of the two hours so apologies to those who have held for a while including you Chris thanks for jumping on hey five how you going good that's good what's the name yeah they got a gentleman around a bit earlier regarding the turf at NCG I'm retired grand keepers so what it is is the turf is brought in in slabs so it's quite thick so be 25 to say 40 mil thick so and then it's rolled so it won't move once it's down that the weight of the turf and with a being compacted down it won't move so it might look a bit patchy but the service will be fine so okay the text here from a guy called Bucco my mate who runs the G ground surface says once it's replaced you can play on it basically the next day they replaced chunks of turf there all the time what might look average actually plays very well so Bucco is on the money like you are yep yeah mate so there's no no

drums at all be tickety-boo all right love it one here on the text pipe word on street is Pogganhorn will be dropped Nat in Hobart he's probably the only one I reckon that could be vulnerable if they do want to bring in a defender for their tall forwards they could probably justify it that way and maybe played Jeremy Cameron forward if Pogganorns out Nicky Perth hello Nick what do you got for us well when I saw you in the other night I didn't realize you're you're a sauna man I am yes I am a I've got an infrared sauna yes Nick it's on my Instagram I watch a lot of footy from that sauna as you saw the other night I was watching the footy from the sauna for two hours a bit doing a bit of live chat with all those people who want to join me on insta always love to have a live chat with you over the evening so if you want to jump on jump on and send me message any time I promise I'll get back to you Nick yeah no that's good what temperatures are we talking we're trying to get it up to 70 most times Nick

probably hovers around 68 that's the thing with hot coals sauna as you can get it up a lot higher than 70 but infrared 70s about as high as I can go yeah that might be a little bit too hot for me I think I might pack it in right now but if you got one or what do you like what's your temperature what's your Goldilocks temperature I'm about a 60 62 yeah well 62 is good if you're staying in for an hour and a half Nick but depends on whether you're doing the hot and cold I jump out and do a bit of hot and cold oh no I'm just a hot man I got to try the hot and cold I don't mind a bit of that so you can't crank it up for 70 because after you do the cold bath in between Tom you need that there be pretty warm when you jump back in I good other chat with you Nick we're back to wrap up when it comes to midday matters next you with Dwayne's roll we're gonna shout to the top you it's rapid five time be great every company by the way for metric on midday

improve that team and it got to the stage where well according to Todd Vaughny the game and maybe the world in a way footy world went past Claco that's what was explained to us but you know Sonja I think it's done a good job there's a lot of women doing great jobs in footy at the moment that you know very intelligent people that know more about their footy than I do and I work with a few of them who are superstars when it comes to their intelligence and their love for the game their knowledge of the game and their heart bleeds for the game like Sarah Jones and Jess Webster and Coe so you know Sonja Hood, Kylie Watson Wheeler they're all doing great stuff in the footy space these days even though some people want a nox on you I think she's done a great job so far we'll talk more about it with Sammy Evan injured and need a good lawyer you know what to do get carbon on the phone easy affordable parking less stress for your trip to Adelaide book your next trip and Avalon Airport Melbourne to Ainsworld with Wayne Russell.

great abion do I know what's going on here so many messages you've had a lively opener I have it's been always pretty lively on the text machine it gets a little nasty at times but it's pretty the number-genrety kind today which is nice and there's been a lot of those texts that have been kind and wondering why we haven't been speaking about Adam Trillor which is why we've got you on I knew you're going to have a chat and you've got a couple of pizzas of audio as well from Adam today yeah let's talk about this so Adam Trillor has retired Dwayne or probably more accurately has been retired and sometimes this is the case this is the ruthlessness of the sport at the top level he reluctantly told his teammates this morning at about 10 30 Adam Trillor that this year will end up being his last year he did actually Dwayne interestingly enough have some interest from another club I think a non-Victorian club but just how red hot that interest was I don't know and it doesn't matter anyway because while he wanted to keep playing he wanted to keep playing at the dogs he couldn't perhaps understandably pop get his head around a fourth club mentally so

three clubs GWS, Connywood and the Bulldogs 15 seasons all things told all Australian blazer along the way and probably one of the most what do you reckon volcanic trades that we've seen from Connywood to the Bulldogs when the pies forced him out and that pretty dramatic salary dump at the time so it's been a fair old ride for Adam Trillor hasn't it and he's been a darn good player along the way and obviously the other body at times like it does with so many soft tissue wise let him down yeah and he was like all players with neighborhood tire a bit emotional when he spoke today he was yeah let's have a listen to him so firstly on I guess retirement more broadly and then we'll get to his obviously tribute to his family and his loved ones let's have a listen to Adam Trillor discussing the fact that he has been retired Dwayne so obviously me being me I've always got aspirations to I want to keep continuing the journey and pursuing footy and that was certainly selling that you know I'd considered a lot throughout the year and been wrestling with this for a long time and

you know after having chats with you know the club and and you know friends and family obviously the reality is there wasn't you know really going to be a contract for me next year which is you know totally understandable considering I haven't really been able to play the last couple years and you know there's no other footy club I'd rather play for so it is you know with the heaviest of hearts that come to the conclusion that I'm retiring so hence what I'm doing the video so a bit of Adam Trillor they're pretty emotional as you can you can hear Dwayne a little bit different to the Tom Libertor I won which had Simpson's references and jokes about Scott Pender Brigand or Galko's yesterday 24 hours on I guess this as I said off the top is the harsh reality for some guys it comes to an end before I guess mentally they're ready for it too yeah so it's it's I like the videos and if he was talking about it did thank his partner and thank

a few people as well understand yeah so he's got his kids and his partner Kim let's have a listen to Adam Trillor pay tribute to his to his family Dwayne. Kim and Georgie words words can certainly not describe how grateful I am for you both. Kim you've seen me on my good days you've seen me on my bad days one thing that's never changed is your unconditional love and support you've rode every emotion with me um all the highs all the lows you've been there for me you've been my rock through it all and I love you so very much um and Georgie my little shadow um the proudest moment of my fully career always be what I ran you out with me for much more than a few years game

the proudest moment hands down and I hope in probably one day you get the chance to look back when you're older and really see how grateful I was to have you be a big part of my fully career and how everything I did was for you and your mom I love you both so very much and I thank you so much for being a part of this journey. So pretty far on there Dwayne obviously as you can tell look at his best he was a damaging line-breaking midfielder wasn't he but as he touched on there in that first piece of audio we brought you nine games in the last two years only and I mentioned the soft issues he suffered probably what he reckon one of the more freakish injuries of Addy when he tore both hammies at once against the blues I reckon it might have been in 2018 so while we're going now he had tendon damaging one the left and the right went at the same time which was quite freakish so and we'll get a few more departures announced over the next week or so so stand by for more

videos I think more emotional videos do you play on this program North Coach search so they've announced the committee that's going to pick the new coach yeah they did that yesterday so actually we'll get to that off the top so that's Jen what Todd Viny Andrew Swallow Darren Crocker Nick Dowling who's the vice president and still side bottom I guess is the recently retired former player to to give the players perspective I don't know 26 is six too many like I don't know either but I mean the blues have just come off too many I don't know the blues have just come off a process where they had three and then he you've got you know you've got North Melbourne with with six S and add five Melbourne add seven when they found Stephen King maybe there's no right or wrong way but jeez it's a lot of a lot of people a lot of opinions and a lot of assessment that's about to play out that's for sure well six will be the perfect number if they get the perfect coach and they're in the flag but if they get the coach that doesn't coach them into the finals that we've done or yeah they have six people on the selection committee and why do they get still side bottom on that selection yeah so he's the thing to ain't right so if it's the next

premier shoot coach do you think they should go because this is something that club and even the candidates that have just had the early preliminary conversations with the club would it be prudent of them to go with a first-time coach or an experienced former coach I think it'll be gutsy if they go with someone who hasn't coached before with Jamie Graham or Corey in right because there is that chance that they won't have a good year one and everyone's expecting whoever takes to have an improved year on what adults the Clarkson got this year so if the coach you take sover doesn't have a better year next year everyone will be saying well you should have kept Clarko but they might have a longer term plan when it comes to a young coach and if he doesn't do what Stephen King's done in U1 or Josh Fraser does in U1 maybe it doesn't matter it's just a long term year two three four as opposed to if they appoint John Lommer I think there will be an expectation that he does have to coach them better than Alistair class and coach this year and it won't be

acceptable if they're not improved on what Clarko got win lost this year I think there's going to be expectation regardless but I get I get completely what you're saying I think this is a different job to say Stephen King taking over Melbourne and even Josh Fraser taking over Calton at one and eight when expectations were completely shot this feels like a team that's ready to vault into the top eight or top ten as it is and look just in regard they're just such different coaches so obviously like you talk about you reference John Longmer there what's you coach 28 finals and four grand finals like and then you you talk about maybe a core in right who hasn't coached a single AFL game so how can they possibly drop the criteria and this is the other thing the criteria is about to be sent out from the club to the to the prospective candidates that have those preliminary conversations with how can there be a criteria to weigh in that caters for both you know John Longmer and a core in right so really the club and in their early conversations with these preliminary or these prospective candidates I've spoken to the indication the club have given and it's only an indication it's not categorical and it might change is that

they are leaning towards a first-time coach so some of the first-time coaches I've spoken to this morning say that and also some of the former coaches I've spoken to this morning say that's the way North Melbourne is is leaning but we won't know for sure until that criteria is sent out I believe it's been established and when it does get sent out to these candidates I mean it's hard to have a John Longmer and a Jamie Graham who can possibly both meet the criteria can it it's going to be well unless the criteria is pick is the best person for the job no but the criteria that get sent out to these coaches is what they want their next coach to look like so do they want an experienced coach or do they want a first-time or maybe it's so broad that it that it that it caters for both but maybe it does she's it's getting into you know the similar sort of dilemma that that Calm of ad obviously Melbourne have had and an Essendon have had and I'm sure a few clubs next year will have as well so in terms of coaches we know that there's at least one club after one what about the assistant coach Merri go around there's a bit of that happy to have it too that's in full swing and there's going to ramp up in conjunction with the

trade period as well do I'm we're talking a lot about players but the coaches so Brenna Lades actually been chased by a couple of clubs this and then we know but also GWS have come calling and Adam Kingsley would dearly love his long time poor Adelaide teammate we them up at the Giants the bombers basically as you know pop have got an entire football department to fill and Mark McVase busy there the bombers have been pretty open about their desire to meet with herd and discuss possibilities actually not hiding away from that McVase also contacted Nick Maltesky to follow him south from Sydney and GWS for their part they're set for an over all of their coaching staff so we know that Brett Montgomery's gone Craig Jennings is leaving the coaches box two Ben Hart is a good chance to do the same and that's where Lades comes in I do think it's far far more likely he stays at the dogs he's still got aspirations of being a senior coach he's been was involved relatively deep into the Carlton process so that remains so I think he stays at the Western Bordogs but don't wait hey it's good to be it's good to be wanted isn't it it is absolutely it's better than being unwanted and I think we're wanting a good game on Friday we're going to

get a good game are you going to the NFL game the the Rams here yet no so this is what I want to talk to you about I know Ed Wies going to join you later as you set off the top of the hour so it's just gone what's it it's caught up us nine I think in LA at the moment now I'm told the Rams are flying out at 9 30 local time so they're flying at in about 15 minutes from Los Angeles obviously the loser data travel they're land in Melbourne when are they getting your Thursday morning so 24 hours out sharp they play 10 30 local Tom Friday of course they'll fly back to the US immediately after they're land in LA midday Friday so that all things told here they'll spend about 30 hours on a plane Dwayne they'll cross seven times zones play a game and they'll be back in LA what less than 72 hours after leaving I mean it couldn't be more different to the $40 one's going to work or one's going to be seen to have worked one's going to be seen to have failed and whatever one whatever club wins the game arguably we'll shape our teams do it in this part of the world going probably get those it's a corner a three I think they've got the beds just built in there the

lay beds or whatever you want to call them so they'll do it in style but then there's the crossing of the times and so I'm not sure how that's going to hit them with with the jet lag I'm no jet lag expert but 24 hours out you'd be getting the bed pretty early on the on the Thursday night wouldn't you and I hope you you don't wake up in a fog on Friday well there will be some sort of fog right there I mean you can't just fly over here and be 100% fresh so that will be an interesting watch actually you're heading along you're getting involved in the atmosphere well I've got to be well I think we're at the Pullman for Fireball with with Cain and King he just up the road and there yeah I'm not wondering Dwayne to have a little look and see what all the the fuss is about that record I did I see Ben Graham say it it might be super bowl like given the yes the big event status of it the huge arena the ticket demand and the fact that it's you know it's been so big in the build up and whatnot that it could be super bowl like so that that interests me a little bit yeah I'm looking forward to hearing the reports I'll be in Perth so I won't be heading along myself but footy never rest I've got to do the there's big game and there's big games and you

know got us to cats and free I if I have the choice I'd probably choose cats and free I'm going to have to choose Sammy urban joins us for 20 years tomorrow Sammy thanks for your time thanks for it Sammy urban for old and construction lawyers you're trusted wingman in building disputes and experts in construction law yes absolutely I've I had the choice I think I've had the choice of an AFL game a super bowl I still choose an AFL game but it's going to be fun to see it take over the city and I look before to being there tomorrow we will have an NFL update after the break as well at white it's going to join us NFL expert and Melbourne 8's broadcaster as well and we'll have a chat to Luke Travis from Melbourne United so still a bit to come on to Wayne's we'll stick around injured and need a good lawyer you know what to do get carbon on the phone easy affordable parking less stress for your trip to Adelaide book your next trip from Avalon Airport Melbourne to Wayne's World with Wayne Russell it's great to have you come and forward Wayne's but always great to talk to Royal the Ed White's

been good enough to join us for an NFL update for Westfield check out what's on at your local Westfield NFL American sports expert Ed White has been around a long long time good have your back head thanks for jumping along thanks a lot to Wayne very exciting times it is exciting and it really has taken over the city it's engulfed the whole city and everyone seems like they're into it I love seeing this I was just saying to somebody you know I came here in 2000 and to see the change from people that really weren't sure what the NFL really was to now where people understand it or passionate about it and are loving seeing all the the excitement around Melbourne it just makes me feel really good and you're still broadcasting baseball and various American sports in Australia and doing a bit of NFL where do we find you these days you're doing a bit of American radio too yeah I'm doing well yeah I still do the Melbourne aces will be on pale this year which is great but yeah I'm working with the American broadcast the Westwood

one radio I'm just sort of helping them out in the booth with some spotting picking up some numbers and players and things like that so really really looking forward to that it's going to be an unbelievable spectacle so given that one team's been here for quite a while and a kilometer I said the ramps are getting near tomorrow is that going to make a difference that's the huge talking point away I'm going to tell you talking to my friends in the States and reading this stuff coming out of there they're viewing this as some sort of experiment that could have an impact on the way sports teams travel because it's a complete opposite as you mentioned the nine years here for like a week to get a climateized and the ramp is literally flying in playing the game and flying out so depending on how it turns out you know this might be something that other people look at going forward well the Rams are overwhelming favorites will fire it's this guy man to win the whole thing aren't they yeah they are yeah a lot of people think that is to they're going to be end up in the Super Bowl which will be really interesting the two teams split split games last

year of course they're in the same division along with the Super Bowl champion CLC Hawks which is remarkable three really good teams in the same division so it's going to be interesting game man I think that's the other thing Dwayne that people kind of forget is this is a legitimate regular season football game it's not you know a team coming over and just having to having a laugh and showing off for fans this is a legitimate game it's going to mean something could really mean something coming into the season now so and it's the perfect time zone so that's why we're playing it early second game of the season so essentially we've got the eyes of the football world on us the American football world and everyone's going to be watching what little Melbourne's looking like absolutely and I think you can't discount the social media stuff that's coming out of here particularly from the 49ers reporters they're just making the place look incredible and the other thing I got to mention is a lot of people don't realize is that Australians are very familiar with American culture for a number of reasons Americans not so much they don't travel as much they don't have

past ports so it sounds kind of ignorant but it actually is just more like people discovering how great this place is so I find it pretty funny that well how does the coffee you know it's a yeah but but literally you know people don't understand what the city's like you know I had two friends in for the Australian Open last year and the first thing they said when when I ran into them was what a great city you have why didn't you tell me this so you know it's beauties in the eye of the bholder I guess well the Rams won't get to see much of it though were they they're flying flying so they'll see the road I'll see Tellum reen freeway and MCJ and then Tellum reen freeway and they're putting it yeah it's pretty strange isn't it and I think considering that they're like the home team that the team has been sort of given this region to market and they have done a pretty good job prior to this it is pretty strange though that they have sort of led to 49ers win the hearts and minds and 49ers have a lot of fans here anyway Dwayne going back to the mountain 10 years and you know so I think there is a bit of a nine or fan base here that's going to be

really interesting to see what the split looks like at the G on Friday yeah it's it's going to be enormous and the weather looks like Bayonet Kay as well doesn't it for Friday so that's a good new story as well yeah certainly is that would be the worst thing they've had that before members of the game in Mexico City where they actually had to move it because the field was in such bad condition so that that's not going to be an issue and obviously the MCG curators do such a great job anyway but yeah the weather good weather will help immensely because both teams like to kind of open up the offense a little bit so it could be exciting I hope it is I hope it's an exciting game now it should be a rip or end it's part of well we're going to see more games or will it be one a year for now and do you think here in Australia that would be my guess I think the travel is still an issue on the other hand if the Rams come in and and win 35 nothing and people realize aren't you just flying and flying out and win a game that might change things but I think it's a moment one game and and going forward potentially if this works out they might look at another one but this

works out pretty well start of the season get a break and then move on so that that would be that I would see an immediate future of it love your work Ed will talk to you soon can't wait to maybe see in the next coming year or so flight and around a media center somewhere we'll talk soon thanks Ed White joining us for Westfield visit your local Westfield and keep up to date with what's happening via the Westfield app thanks to all of you sensory tests I'll get back to your text after the break as well I four double three 98 11 16 on the 40 wings tempertex to great night sleep night after night after night that is a difference still a bit to come on the agenda as well for early pay your business plans depend on reliable cash flow for working capital finance choose early pay we'll have a chat to Luke Travers Melbourne United star he's going to join us as well with I think United plane tomorrow in their last practice practice match before the NBL season starts for United on the 19th September so just 10 days away from their season starting so Luke Travers

not far away stick around here with Duane's wife injured and need a good lawyer you know what to do get carbon on the phone fly across Australia with less hassle easier parking and smoother starts book your next trip from avalan airport Melbourne Duane's world with Duane Russell always great heavy company we'll be broadcasting from the best sheds studio best sheds at the best prices Australian owned and manufactured you can visit bestsheds.com.au quite a few people happy to hear Ed White on the radio again so thanks to all of your sensory texts on that and you can download the podcast anytime and like have a listen back to the whole show or just a bit some pieces that we have the chats with guys like Ed White or our chat if you're about to miss the chat with Luke Travers you're about to jump into the out of the car and go into the shopping Luke Travers is about to join me in a matter of seconds thanks to rjsanderson.com.au accountants and taxation specialist to talk a little bit of Melbourne United in the NBL season which is I think

for Melbourne United 10 days away from starting Luke Waggina here firstly great heavy on the line what was the bag for having me it is nice to have you so 10 days away it's getting pretty serious now you had your well you've got one more sort of full strength hit out against New Zealand tomorrow on at msack you've got that to come yeah I'm a planner at msack so it should be you know good different little atmosphere and also just good to play against another team and how serious have you been so far obviously the vlogger's brutal cup you want it so you obviously put a fair bit into it but you protected some of your older players they Chris Golding didn't play a full quarter of game time so you did mix it up a little yeah I think it's just finding the right balance of you know getting the fitness up and better at the same time we're trying to you know rest bodies and make sure we're ready to go to game one is that the way it is it's a long season so you don't really want to be beating yourself up too much even though you do want to hit game one you

know it's full tilt you don't really want to be going to crazy in the preseason because the season is so long yeah absolutely I think anytime you can you know rest guys but also find that balance like I said of getting those game reps obviously we play against each other just about every day so anytime you can play against another team and in a game atmosphere you want to put your hand up and play but you find the balance of not overdoing it at the same time you've just been named MVP as well so your form's been pretty good you must be happy yeah for sure that was wasn't one of my goals was to necessarily shine individually it was more to win and but I've said it in other interviews where I think if we're winning the results will kind of take care of itself it might not always be my night it might be other guys but as long as we're winning I think the success and individual success will come through the expectation is high though you've got a really good roster Col Anthony's

added to it and you do look pretty good with your roster heading in this year yeah we're not trying to look too far into it obviously we're going to take ammo game and you know but expectations can also be a killer you know when you kind of just expect those things to happen so yeah we have a good team and we're super talented but taking the right steps and preparation all that stuff is being a big key for us and we know that it's not just going to happen for us we still have to you know go out there and you know play super hard like this league is it's going in the right direction it's super competitive so we know that it's not just going to happen overnight is your game stall Jacob chances game stall is it or is it a game stall that is tailor-made for the players that he's got including yourself and Col Anthony etc to be able to play their best basketball so is it a game stall that's modified for who you got or is it just a game stall that he wants to play regardless I think it's a bit of both obviously he has a blueprint kind of that he wants to put down but at

the same time the players that he recruits is to fit his blueprint I guess so he's always going to put our strengths forward and put the guys in the right position to you know use their strengths but at the same time he's recruited in that way to fit his style of play and I think yeah he's put I've put together obviously a really good roster but at the same time it's to his game stall I think everyone kind of fits I don't know and he's speaking to tell me everything but roughly what the game style what's on the whiteboard when it comes to you know the non-negotiables the way that he wants to play I feel like everyone's kind of doing the same thing now especially in the NBA on the fever system is you want to speed teams up and play super fast yeah so I think that's what we're going to look to do and I feel like that's kind of like everyone's kind of game style now is you know you want to speed teams up and play fast so I think we've got a really good roster for that because the fans probably want that style as well don't they and you don't want to play attractive

basketball you are in the entertainment business even though we know with my sports defense with defense with championships yeah I think that's another part of it is you know you're speeding these teams up to make mistakes and play fast because you know that's kind of hard defend at the same time so yeah everyone's kind of doing the same thing it's just about whoever you know it does it the best and will your game tomorrow not be how you're starting five wants to shape up will you fine tune it that much or will you sort of leave a bit in the can to unveil against the Adelaide 36 in your first actual game in 10 days time yeah I guess it depends who's playing you know we're trying to manage guys at the same time and not overdo it like I said and yeah you know it can change from game to game like I said it's going to be guys nights sometimes it's not so yeah I guess it all just depends on who we roll out tomorrow and who gets the ball when scores a level with eight seconds left is is CG 43 now getting over all the how's that going to play

out no no it's I think it's going to be you know whoever has a goal in that night or there's a certain matchup we want to go out I think that's the beauty of this team it can be anyone's night so yeah I think that's a good thing for us at the same time yeah it's a huge thing I hate great aviciat DLC it plenty of games so I'll try not to annoy you but I really appreciate you jumping on thanks for thanks for your time thanks for having me look travelers joining us thanks to rjsanderson.com.au self managed and super fun specialist take the stress out of tax rjsanderson.com.au and if you haven't bought your Melbourne United membership yet or you're listening to this around the country whatever state you're in make sure you grab your NBL membership it's going to be a massive NBL season coming up should be enormous so can't wait to get to a couple of games myself as many games as possible or reckon I got a month and a half off coming up over Christmas so I'll be getting to plenty thanks to all of you sent through text today as I mentioned the text for Shane's being pretty wild today
